Chapter 507 508 [Three Treasures]

  Xiang Nan then went to find He Shen.

   "Mr. Ji, what kind of wind is blowing today, it actually brought you here." He Shen asked with a smile when he saw it.

   "My lord, Ji will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I'm here to ask for your help."

   "Mr. Ji asked me for help?! This is really new." He Shen was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Okay, please tell me directly if you have anything to do. As long as you can do it with a certain person, you will never hesitate."

"He-sir, I hope you can help me persuade Chen Weiyuan to write a letter of divorce to Miss Xiangyun." Xiang Nan said immediately, "If you have any conditions, you can mention them. As long as Ji can do it, I will It is also undeniable by definition."

   "Mr. Ji, what's the explanation? Chen Weiyuan and I are strangers." He Shen was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then smiled.

   "My lord, don't tell lies in front of real people. If you don't know Chen Weiyuan, then who sent the servant A Fu beside him?

  If it wasn't for your support, how could Chen Weiyuan, a bookseller, dare to come to my thatched cottage to ask for someone? "Xiang Nan looked at He Shen and said with a smile, "Master He, Ji came here this time to sincerely ask for your help. If you continue to pretend to be false, Ji will have no choice but to leave. "

   After Xiang Nan finished speaking, he got up and left.

   "Slow down!" He Shen quickly waved his hand and said, "Since Mr. Ji is so sincere, it is not easy for Hemou to refuse people. Well, I can help with this. However, I want three treasures in Mr. Ji's hands."

   "Which three treasures?" Xiang Nan asked.

   "The Great Axis of Mountains and Rivers written by Dong Yuan in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Praise of Dao Fu written by Fan Zhongyan in the Song Dynasty, and the Yuanshe Tie written by Zhuge Liang by Wang Xizhi in the Jin Dynasty!" He Shen said immediately.

   "Master He is really well-informed. Yes, those three ancient paintings are in my hands." Xiang Nan nodded, "Since Master He wants it, Ji is willing to give it."

   "Master Ji really agreed?!" He Shen was shocked when he heard it.

  These three ancient paintings are priceless. I don’t know how many people went bankrupt and wanted to keep these three ancient paintings in their pockets. Even the emperor coveted it.

  Xiang Nan wants to exchange these three ancient paintings for a woman, which is really unexpected.

   "Ji Xiaolan said just now, as long as I can do it, I will never let it go." Xiang Nan nodded.

  Although the three ancient paintings are precious, they are of no great use to him.

   Come to think of it, Ji Xiaolan is not short of money. In addition to the official salary every year, he also has Bingjing, Tanjing, Enyuan, Lumi, etc., which are enough for his daily needs. So he naturally couldn't make the mistake of selling paintings for money.

  Secondly, Ji Xiaolan in the play failed to rescue Xiangyun, and finally burned the three ancient paintings, which shows that he is really an infatuated person. If Xiang Nan could exchange these three ancient paintings for Xiangyun, it would be Ji Xiaolan's wish.

   "Mr. Ji really deserves to be a lover." He Shen exclaimed, "But, using these three priceless ancient paintings to exchange for a woman, does Mr. Ji think it's worth it?"

  These three ancient paintings are worth a million taels of silver together, and can buy tens of thousands of Huang Hua girls. But Xiang Nan only wanted to change to another woman, a married woman. In He Shen's view, this was a pretty loss-making business. If it was him, he would never do this.

   "Although ancient paintings are expensive, bosom friends are hard to find." Xiang Nan smiled, "A scholar can die for a confidant, let alone three paintings?"

   "Mr. Ji is really a man of temperament, and I admire him." He Shen said with emotion, "Mr. Ji, let me also take this opportunity to say something to you.

  With your talent, learning, courage and insight, you can completely call the wind and rain in the sky. But you often lose your sense of pedantry, you always get dizzy when you see women, it's hard to make a big deal out of it. "

  Xiang Nan smiled, "My lord, you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish. Wealth and glory, fame and fortune are not what I want. To be with my confidant for a lifetime is enough to comfort me for the rest of my life."

   "Mr. Ji has a high realm." He Shen smiled.

   "Farewell!" Xiang Nangong cupped his hands.

  …

  After Xiang Nan left, He Shen found Chen Weiyuan and asked him to write a divorce letter to Xiangyun.

  Ji Xiaolan's three ancient paintings, he has long been salivating.

  Whether you collect it yourself or present it to the emperor, it is a beautiful thing.

  As for Chen Weiyuan, it was just a dog he took in. A small bookseller, ordinary people, he can make Chen Weiyuan unable to live or die if he just moves his mouth.

   Asking him to write a divorce letter and divorce his wife is naturally a trivial matter.

   "My lord, you want me to write a letter of divorce?" Chen Weiyuan asked puzzled, "Aren't you still trying to use this to tarnish Ji Xiaolan's reputation? Once I write the letter of divorce, our plan will be over."

  Now that the letter of divorce has been written, Xiangyun is no longer his wife, and it is useless for him to arrange it.

   "Hey, it's easier to handle things after writing a letter of divorce." He Shen waved his hand and said, "Although Xiangyun lives in Jifu, there is no evidence, how to arrange it?

  But now, Ji Xiaolan wants you to write a divorce letter, this is the biggest excuse. Abducting women and forcing people to divorce their wives, these two crimes combined, Ji Xiaolan will never recover for the rest of her life. "

   "This..." Chen Weiyuan hesitated for a while, "My lord, if Xiangyun is divorced, then the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions" will never be found again."

   "If you can't find it, you can't get it back." He Shen waved his hands indifferently.

  Chen Weiyuan was looking for the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" because he wanted to print the book to make money. But even if all the scholars came to buy his books, they would only earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

  Even if Chen Weiyuan dedicated half of the profit to him, it would only be 10,000 to 20,000 silver. But now he has three ancient paintings, each of which is priceless, much more valuable than the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

   "My lord..." Chen Weiyuan was still a little unwilling.

  "A Dream of Red Mansions" doesn't matter to He Shen, but to him, it is the best opportunity to make a fortune.

  In order to obtain the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions", he has been planning for several years, and even sent his wife to be an undercover agent.

  If he can't get the manuscript now, all his hard work will be over.

   "Why, you don't listen to me anymore?" He Shen couldn't help but put on a straight face when he saw that he was evading in every possible way.

   "Don't dare, dare not, the villain will write it now." Seeing this, Chen Weiyuan nodded quickly.

  His business still relies on He Shen's protection. Otherwise, the magistrate who confiscated the house, the county magistrate who exterminated the family, and any official could kill him.

   "Hmph, you are wise." He Shen nodded.

  …

  Chen Weiyuan immediately wrote a letter of divorce with hatred, stamped his fingerprints, and handed it to He Shen.

  The next day, He Shen handed over the letter of divorce to Xiang Nan, "Mr. Ji, it's a good luck."

   "It's really straightforward to do business with the adults, Ji admires it." Xiang Nan nodded, and then handed the three ancient paintings to He Shen as promised.

   "Mr. Ji really keeps his word, good, good, good!" He Shen said excitedly, and he was really excited to start with three ancient paintings.

  The authentic works of calligrapher Wang Xizhi, the handwriting of Fan Zhongyan, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the landscapes of Dong Yuan, a great master of the Five Dynasties, any one of these three can cause a sensation in Liulichang, but now they all belong to him.
